A quiet house, a quiet street,

A scissors and a square of blue.

And slender hands that deftly stitchea. 

The shining stars across — 

' Twas thus the flag of liberty 

IVas made by Betsey Ross, 

In stately hall and lowly home 

This day its colors wave, ' 

The shelter of the world's oppressed 

The beacon of the brave. 

Let glory on the nation's shield 

A tnong the stars embo.ss. 

The thread, the needle and the name 

And fame of Betsey Ross.
